Sitios Latinoamérica operates 37,439 telecom sites across 15 countries
Sitios Latinoamérica runs telecom towers and sites that mobile operators rent to place antennas and transmission equipment.
The company is chaired by Arturo Elías Ayub and is based in Mexico City, but its infrastructure business is outside Mexico.
It began operating independently in August 2022 after América Móvil, the Slim family's telecom group, separated its tower assets into a standalone company.
Its customers include América Móvil, its largest client, as well as Vivo, TIM and TIGO.
At the end of 2025, it managed 37,439 sites in 15 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, with Brazil its largest market.
The company earns revenue through rental contracts that typically last five to 10 years, rather than selling phone or internet services to consumers.
It remains listed on Mexico's stock exchange, while its operations serve telecom operators elsewhere in the region.
Sitios Latinoamérica managed 37,439 telecom sites and towers across 15 Latin American and Caribbean countries as of December 31, 2025.
The company builds, installs, maintains and leases towers and other structures used by telecom operators.
Its commercial activity is concentrated outside Mexico, despite its corporate headquarters being in Mexico City and its shares trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange.
Brazil was its largest market, with 12,225 towers, or 32.7% of its portfolio.
The company began operating independently in August 2022 after the tower assets were spun off from América Móvil.
